A mother-daughter relationship is a treasured thing, as the two would usually be very close, but usually not this close in age.
Savana Chapin, 29, is just seven years older than her daughter Tizzi, leaving the entire social media world confused.
The duo often go viral on TikTok due to their uncanny resemblance and dancing videos posted together.

You wouldn't be crazy to mistake them for sisters if you saw them walking down the street together, though they are not related by blood.
Savana is actually step-mum to Tizzi, being married to her 45-year-old salon owner father Chris Chapin.
Chris and Savana, who have a 16-year age gap, met when she applied for a hair stylist role at his salon, quickly hitting it off with each other and eventually ending up together.

The two got married, and also have three kids of their own in addition to Tizzi, Tayge and Trinity from Chris' previous marriage.
Tizzi was actually very sceptical at the gaping age gap between her new step-mum and her father, focusing on the closeness of her own age to Savana's.
The young mum remembered: "Tizzi was initially very thrown off.

“I know that if I was Tizzi’s age and my daddy came home with a girl that was closer in age to me than my dad, I probably would have whooped her a**.”
Trolls regularly attack her TikTok channel, labelling Savana and Chris' relationship as 'creepy' and claiming that Chris only wanted a 'clone' of his daughter.
Some have also called her a 'home-wrecker', though Savana does not deny that her relationship with Tizzi's biological mother is not the best, replying to a comment saying: "We leave each other alone for the most part. I don’t think she’s my biggest fan.”

The hate has not stopped the 29-year-old from posting though, even stating that her and Tizzi are now 'best friends', happily saying: "Now we're best friends and she's my little right-hand man."
The two have taken advantage of the media attention, even releasing a clothing line, with Savana donning a forest green sweatshirt with 'step mama' boldened at the front, accompanied by motivational quotes on the sleeves to help inspire other step-mums.
It is clear then, that Savana and Tizzi are not letting the haters get in the way of what they want to do and post online.
